[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 687995, member: 14557"] Yes, I know. And around here we consider those kids "risking their healthy physical, mental and emotional development" by their own actions. Around here kid under 15 is not legally liable for any criminal action they may commit and even after that they need to literally kill someone to end up in prison, for others it is fines or probation at most. So all under 15 and older kids with lesser crimes are CPS's turf. However there are Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s for very challenging CPS clients that in practise are very much like detention centres you have. And there are places for kids whose main problem in substance abuse and so on. In fact majority of kids in care around here are not in care because of their parents but because of what they have done themselves. It may be drinking, drugs, truancy, parents needing break from their difficult teenager (who may have neurological or mental health issues), committing several petty crimes etc. And as said, places taking care of these kids tend to specialise to something. There are places for those extremely difficult and criminal kids, kids with severe mental health issues, kids just having the more volatile teen years and not getting along with parents and everything between. Most kids who end up in the care due parents do so when still very young and those are more likely to end up to foster families. [/QUOTE]
